Weezer followed their most recent LP, 2021’s Van Weezer, with a series of four seasonal EPs, SZNZ: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, in 2022. They were planning to give the series a box set release, which they announced on the first anniversary of Spring in March of 2023, but the updates stop there. The band’s assistant and “unofficial fifth member” Karl Koch has now revealed that the box set isn’t happening. In a post on the Weezerpedia Discord server, he wrote, “ok official word: i just learned the SZNZ box was in fact cancelled, im sorry to confirm. Apparently high cost vs. not expecting enough sales to make it work. Feels kinda like the Broadway cancel thing… just letting SZNS be ‘as is’, and enjoy.”

Just days after performing in Central Park for Good Morning America, Green Day began their ‘Saviors’ stadium tour at DC’s Nationals Park last night (7/29). They opened with “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” the first song on their new album Saviors, and then, as promised, they went on to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot. They began by ripping through Dookie in full, from its fiery opening track “Burnout” to its hidden track “All My Myself,” and they followed the album with a few more Saviors songs (“Look Ma, No Brains!,” “One Eyed Bastard,” “Dilemma”) and a few others from throughout their career (“Know Your Enemy,” “Minority,” “Brain Stew”).

Former Girls singer/guitarist Christopher Owens is back with his first new music in seven years. Set against a shimmering mix of acoustic and electric guitars, “I Think About Heaven” is sunny and optimistic, with Owens singing “I think about heaven and I smile / Things don’t seem so bad.” He was born and raised into a devout Christian family and that has colored his songwriting from the beginning but is front and center here. It’s a very immediately likable song, all six minutes of it, and you can listen below.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Ominore, the eight-part AppleTV+ food documentary series, dropped all eight episodes of its first season on July 19. Created by chef René Redzepi of Copenhagen restaurant Noma and food writer Matt Goulding, the series focuses on a single ingredient for each of its episodes, including chiles, rice, salt, corn and more. It’s as gorgeous to look at as Noma’s food (Redzepi also narrates), shot around the world, and sounds good too. Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest), who together run Jazz is Dead, composed the main theme, and each episode features a score by a different composer.
